The Globe received an email from Journalism Faculty Chair Tim Hudson in response to our coverage of the School of Communication’s restructured journalism program, effective Fall 2019. The email contained a list of question and answers, which have been condensed into a guest column format.

Violence is everywhere. We see violence on a daily basis but mass violence, especially school violence, is something no one should ever have to experience.
I know this because I experienced it. I can better understand what the students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida fe...

Contrary to the seemingly popular belief of our elders, not all “millennials” are lazy and unmotivated. We face one of the most competitive job markets to date - pushing many within the younger population to go above and beyond to get ahead.
Those belonging to older generations complain about the work ...

Next week begins Point Park University’s spring break. Most students have been complaining about the break since the beginning of the semester, all because of the dates that it falls on.
Personally, I don’t see what the fuss is all about.
Sure, for years we have been shown images of college...

It’s Valentine’s Day, and you know what that means - I’m going to talk about politics because Valentine’s Day is just another one of capitalism’s ways to make you feel bad about yourself. Also I’m alone.

But I was wrong, very wrong, and I accept that now. I’ve decided that I’m going to use my journali...

Registration is descending upon us. But isn’t it a little too early for those words to be uttered? The edges have hardly been smoothed on issues students have with their current schedules, and we are already jumping into the next.
We have just barely adjusted to our new schedules, and adding the Hu...

Politics is something that should be talked about constantly. No matter who you are, what your major is or what you want to do with your life, when you graduate, politics will affect your everyday life. So why wouldn’t you talk about it?
Unfortunately, due to the current political climate and admin...

Point Park University is a unique school, unlike anything I’ve ever come across before. From the start of my college career this spring semester I have learned many things - the most important being communication.
I moved to Pittsburgh the day after Thanksgiving from Kokomo, Indiana. When I got t...

General education classes.We all know what they are and we all seem to hate them - especially when they have nothing to do with our major. Anything from a math class, a history class or even a science class - you name it.
Taking classes that are unrelated to your major can not only feel like a waste of ...
